Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 214 Were You Throwing Shade At Me (Part One)

Kevin watched Leena disappear behind the bathroom door; he shook his head with a small smile.

'Such an interesting little girl.' Kevin thought to himself. He then walked towards the study. Didn't she

know that he would get a perfect view of her body when she was running? It turned out that married life

would have more fun than he thought.

Inside the bathroom, Leena looked in the mirror and held her burning cheeks. "So humiliating!" she

muttered in remorse. It was only a naked man. Big deal! But it was still so embarrassing. How could

she walk out and face him again afterwards? Leena looked around and suddenly realized she didn't

bring any clothes in.

She pulled the door slightly open, and warily peeked through the crack. It seemed that Kevin had gone.

She sighed in relief and discreetly moved a few steps forward. When she was sure that Kevin was no

longer in the room, she darted towards the closet, grabbed her underwear and pajamas, dashed back

to the bathroom and locked the door behind her. Her heart was pounding fast as she did all these.

Leena felt calm and collected after a hot bath. When she emerged from the bathroom again, she was in

her pajamas. She glanced around the bedroom and felt relieved; it would be her new home from now

on. No matter what happened, she had to get used to her new life as soon as possible. She was not

the spoiled little princess in the Leng family, but a woman married to a military officer. She could no

longer do whatever she felt like doing -- her actions had consequences now.

Her heart started beating when she saw the huge bed. Kevin said it was his bedroom as well. 'Does

that mean we'll have to share a bed?' Leena wondered, her face blushing again. Though they slept

together once, she was drunk; she didn't remember any details except the fact that they had sex. They

hadn't even kissed after that night. 'Wait, would he try something later tonight? Can I say no if he

does?' Leena was a bit frightened. She wasn't sure whether she could sleep with him again while she

was sober; at least not so soon.

Her skin was tight after the hot shower, so she walked up to the dresser and applied some moist lotion

all over her body. Leena then went to the bed with her laptop. Like every young girl in her age, Leena

loved to snuggle in her bed while binge-watching TV shows or browsing fashion news sites.

The first thing she did after turning on her laptop was to check email. She clicked on the top one. It was

from a friend; so were the several other mails that followed. Leena deleted all the spam, and replied to

every message from her friends. Then she clicked on the last one. It was from her mentor from college,

who was inviting her to be one of the judges of a French design competition called 'The Goddess's

Gown' in the letter.

Leena furrowed her brows while gazing at the letter. To be honest, she didn't really want to go back to

France. She went to all this trouble and even got married, which finally made Mr. Cold give up upon the

idea of sending her back to France. It would be all for nothing if she went back willingly this time.

However, the invitation was from her mentor. Her mentor had helped her out a lot, Leena felt bad to

reject him. Luckily, she still had a week to make up her mind. Leena decided to put it aside for the time

being, and turned her attention to the shows. She looked at the listings to find out what was streaming,

and figure out whether she needed to catch up. Leena always believed that something would turn up

eventually, and she would know what to do when the time came.

When Kevin finished his work and went back to the bedroom, Leena, curled up at the end of the bed,

had already fallen asleep. There was a picture of a gorgeous outfit on her laptop screen. As Kevin

approached, he was surprised to find a pop-out window playing a TV show. On the taskbar, her QQ

icon was flashing, and the app was beeping to alert her of new messages and events. Kevin noted the

color -- she had a red diamond level membership. It was unbelievable that she could fall asleep in such

a noisy environment.

Kevin shook his head with a smile; he then gathered Leena up in his arms. Leena stirred and leaned

closer to his broad warm chest, making a low muffled sound. Kevin placed her properly in the bed and

fixed his eyes on her face. He gently caressed her hair, and was once again amazed by how adorable

Leena was.

After a while, he looked curiously at her laptop screen. Was she browsing fashion news? 'It makes

sense.' Kevin thought to himself. 'Young girls always like beautiful clothes and accessories.' He moved

the cursor to the flashing icon, hesitated for a few seconds and then clicked on it. He had no intention

to spy on her chat history; he just wanted to know about her QQ account.

As soon as he clicked, dozens of message boxes popped up. Kevin was stunned. How many people

did she talk to at the same time? Could she handle them all? Fashion news websites, TV show and

chatting with a bunch of different people all at the same time? That was truly impressive.

Kevin's face twitched. 'She is indeed a social queen.' He thought to himself. Ignoring all the unread

messages, he memorized her QQ account number and instantly turned off the laptop without any sort

of hesitation.

Kevin looked at Leena again and lay down on the other side of the bed. He thought he would be having Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

trouble sharing a bed with others, but instead he fell asleep easily. It was already morning when he

woke up. Kevin slightly shifted his body and noticed that Leena, who was still sound asleep, was

holding his waist as if he were a huge stuffed animal. He stared blankly at her for a while before he

remembered that he was married, and that girl in his arms was his wife. They just spent their first night

together as a couple. He gently removed her hands from his waist and got out of bed.
